Brain Damage meets Vibronics
"Empire soldiers"

Vibronics & Brain Damage teamed up and decided to come together around a concept, a narrative inspiration that will undoubtedly surprise: Anglo-Caribbean and Franco-African soldiers’ experience during the first world war. 
The academic historian, poet & songwriter, Madu Messenger, uses the product of years of study and research, to develop, within that very framework, a series of texts on some key topics such as travel, friendship, war and death. This project thus aims at offering a learning experience about this often little-known period of our history. 
It will draw troubling parallels with some more contemporary considerations on culture shocks, immigration, imperial powers and horrors of war that still affects all of us today. Following their reflection on this sensitive issue, the musicians of the project’s – all of many other origins, Anglo-French, Jamaican or Asian – move towards a cultural alignment, opposite to certain enslaving and communitarian models.

DO U REMEMBER ? w/ SIR JEAN

Ah Me seh One, World War One
Two, World War Two
Do U remeber those African soldiers
Who died for your Freedom

Why, why ô why
A me seh why, why ô why
You never mention those African soldiers
Who died for your Freedom

Cuz when U big up de fallen soldiers
U nah name dem at all
Me check out your walls and monuments
Me nah see dem at all
Memorial days a come and U nah call dem at all
Me check out your books of history
We nah see dem at all
It is a shame
U don't remember dem
Dem have given dem youth and dem lives
Just for your Freedom
I come to call out their names
And put a little light pon dem
Their grand sons come to call out their names
And put a little light pon dem
Their African grand sons come to call their names
And put a little light pon dem
Lord of mercy
And put a little light pon dem

CHORUS

Baionets, Fixed !
B company, Fire !
African soldiers on the wire
They were Senegalese, Marocans, or Algerians
They were young, beautiful
And full of strength
They were lions trodding on da battlefield
Now they're lying in complete oblivion
Do U ever, ever remember dem ?
Their grand sons come to call out their names
And put a little light pon dem
And put a little light pon dem

CHORUS

They were fighting with glory
Forgotten at da moment of victory
Ô U used dem as manpower
African warriors
Courageous soldiers
African fighters on da frontline
But inna ya books dem nah have a single line
So we come fe mek de glory shine
Me seh de medal of merit haffi shine

CHORUS

Rocking Ship (feat. Alpha Steppa)

Reggae in the City is a vibrant 17-track adventure that brings reggae rhythm into the heart of America’s largest cities. Each song is inspired by one of the 17 biggest cities in the USA, transforming their energy, culture, and skyline stories into warm island-flavored grooves.

From the electric pulse of New York and Los Angeles to the deep-rooted soul of Chicago, Houston, and Philadelphia, the album celebrates the unique character of every destination. Smooth basslines, uplifting melodies, and soulful guitar moments carry listeners through the charm of San Antonio, the glow of San Diego, the bold spirit of Dallas and Fort Worth, the southern breeze of Charlotte, the coast of Jacksonville, the innovation of San Jose, the strength of Indianapolis, the rhythm of Columbus, and the misty magic of Seattle.

Together, these 17 tracks form a musical map of America — one where skyline lights meet reggae warmth, and every city becomes a beat in the same united rhythm.

A tribute to American cities.
A journey across landscapes and lives.
A reggae celebration of the places people call home.

This is Reggae in the City.

as you all know, it is unfortunately not possible to gather and fulljoy the vibes live and direct at the moment… it truly hurts, as we were supposed to finally welcome the mighty Queen Omega here in Berlin on the sound system today… for obvious reasons the show has to be postponed…
despite the crazy circumstances, we want to give you something from the Lion’s Den dubplate box as a little ‘remedy’ for the postponed show and to send you some strength and power to endure those dreadful times until we can finally meet again… turn up your Hi-Fi and fulljoy this special dubwise cut of Queen Omega’s ‘Real Lioness’ by Toroki from Southern Germany…


“babylon set up dem trap
dem want to see mi stumble
all because I woman cool and humble
though on horse and camp against mi my heart shall not fear
my confidence in Jah shall take mi anywhere I go
the father is with mi
daily
I'm reminded of his tender mercies
I put on my helmet of salvation and the battle already won
the victory leaves a sweet taste on my tongue
when mi inna the Den
mi hear the nyabinghi drum
what a comfort to my soul, Africa this lioness come from…”
